Also, bodycams were always a cop wishlist item. They control the footage, does anyone think if ICE had bodycams there would be transparency? Of course not, there would be a ton of “malfunctioning” bodycams when they did some shit, and in any case where a civilian showed even a hint of resistance or that they might fight back, the footage would be used to bury them.

If the bodycams came with a law that said  that in case of malfunction of the bodycam the one to be trust is the civilian all those "malfunctioning" bodycams wouldn't have any problem working right.

Dems are beholden to billionaires. They just don’t want to be as obvious as Republicans.

It’s not liberals versus conservatives.

It’s the rich versus the rest.

There’s a lot more of us than there are of them.

The most telling part of the vid is where he switches the camera from his right hand to his left, so he can pull his gun out with his right hand.

News about the USA makes me so incredibly sad and anxious currently.

I hope the world won't go to shit and people will eventually see reason again.

I think the sooner we stop hoping and start fighting, will improve our chances to see a world based on freedom and reason within our lifetimes.

Maybe if we just bury our heads in the sand, say Dems are for taxing the rich, funding social programs, and raising the minimum wage, we will get there one day.

Gives the same vibes as believing being anonymous online encourages hate, when the same people wouldn't change their behavior when they are not anonymous.

there is no lesser evil, just the same evil dressed in different clothes
